Time flies madly by and I often am
shocked to discover that something that happened "only
yesterday" was actually years ago. Such was the
case when I recently caught up with the very beautiful
and talented
Asian American actress and hair celebrity - Linda Hsien Wang.
I couldn't believe that it had been over
six years since Linda and I had a great interview about
her acting career, the fantastic
Pantene ads that she
shot and her goals to move to California to pursue more film
roles.
I was thrilled to receive an email from
the busy and very charming actress with her latest phone
number and a note to give her a call to "catch up".
I picked up the phone and managed to snag a few minutes
of her very busy time.
While Linda has enjoyed
lots of
success with a variety of roles, including appearing
on a recent episode of my favorite TV show on Fox - House - she
is still working hard to find more challenging roles
that test her acting muscle.
Linda's Hair Transitions

One of the first reasons I was initially
excited about the tremendous opportunity to chat with
Linda in 2000 was because she had been a very well-known
Pantene shampoo model.
Of course she was selected for that
honor because she has the most breathtakingly beautiful
long opal black tresses that cascade into soft
shimmering sheets past the middle of her back.
The former Miss Teen Pola Asia (1991) is
very petite with sensational skin and big expressive
dark eyes. No wonder she won beauty titles
in the past.
When I originally chatted with Linda her
hair was to the middle of her back and "very very
healthy".
One of the first things I asked the
lovely Linda was about her hair. After all, this
is HairBoutique.com. She reported that even with
all her various acting roles her hair is still "very
healthy" and "very long". The only difference is
that "it has a lot of layers now compared to the way it
was back in 2000".
Pursing Acting With Passion And
Intensity

When I chat with Linda I am always
impressed with her maturity and intense passion for
pursuing her acting craft.
The lovely Linda has a beautiful yet
husky voice that is unique. Not many young Asian
American actresses can communicate so magnificently in
both English and Chinese like Linda.
Linda is truly fluent in Mandarin
Chinese and is able to read and write the Chinese
language with ease. Even Hong Kong actor Tony
Leong had to learn to pronounce Mandarin correctly from
Linda when he took on a Chinese commercial with the
beautiful and talented actress. It turns out that
Tony, who is a magnificent actor, speaks Mandarin
Chinese with a Cantonese accent.
Linda is poised to explode as an acting
force in China since Hollywood is becoming a major point
of interest for the Chinese people (who reside across
the Pacific Ocean). Linda is Asian
American but she is not another Lucy Liu, Michelle Yeo,
ZiZi Zhang or Sandra Oh. She is very special in
her own right.

Besides her passion for acting, Linda
has iron determination. The actress, born under
the Venus ruled sign of Libra doesn't take her beauty
(or spectacular silky tresses) for granted. In
fact, she takes absolutely nothing for granted.
The actress is always pushing the
envelope from every single angle trying to reach her
goals of snagging that special part that will allow her
to display her tremendous acting talents.
As the story goes, Linda recently
gently convinced a commercial casting director to alter
the role of a Caucasian couple's friend to Asian
American. As she was filming the project in San
Diego, she tearfully thanked the producers for their
willingness to embrace the innovative and
non-traditional casting.
Which proves my point that she never
gives up and approaches all opportunities with
humbleness and a great sense of humor.
Since I first met Linda six years ago I
have been constantly impressed by her willingness to
turn over ever possible rock that might lead to a
producer or director's attention or consideration of her
for a role. Meanwhile she is constantly working to
fine tune the craft that she has dedicated her life to
pursuing.

live in the LA area taking all the right steps every
single day to make those

impressive acting gigs in her career where her spectacular acting
talents have been recognized.
